  1. You see Kindles head looking to the right. That’s what happens when your face mask is pulled. That occurred multiple times that night. That’s not subjective and there’s nothing that should be obstructing the refs view. Terrible. I wanna say that’s the same crew as Tx-OU that year.
  2. Yeah, he was playing pretty well until he got hurt. Think that was against Tech. That was a tough game. The horseshit illegal man downfield at the end. The shoulda been pick turned Tech TD. Think Jinkens and Jefferson both got hurt.
  3. Yes. 11-3 in that case is acceptable. But will 7-2 get you in the championship game? That’s assuming that 3rd loss is to Bama. With 14 teams, we’d need a tie breaker most likely to get there. Odds would be decent that at least one loss is against another championship game front runner.
  4. Didn’t the guy trying to close the 9th blow that opportunity? Hence Smith in the 11th.
  5. I’m buying this. Well cause I want to buy it. The LBs actions and reactions are dictated by play call first then post snap actions. The post snap actions are often dictated by those in front of them and those behind (are you doing your job). If the DE or the DB runs upfield when it’s right at them, I can’t fault an ILB for getting there a tick late when the end man not only doesn’t help but makes it worse because there’s more space created. It also sucks as a Lb when your pursuit gets screwed up because the dude in front gets his ass thrown into you even if it’s just a slight clip. Or like the UW game when you’re trying to step up to fill the hole and you can’t get there because the Dl is 2-3 yards off the ball and in your face. You’re asking the impossible when you’re consistently trying to do your job then cover elsewhere. For 2021, we were learning a new staff, a new scheme again. So that’s understandable we’d be slower on the uptake. Maybe even slower since the staff was learning to work with each other. There is no good LBer play unless it starts upfront.
  6. The UW is a good game to watch for this year. They’re well coached with good talent including a capable QB. They missed some throws on us, but we battled and didn’t make the throws easy. They coach to their advantage so they identify some of our disadvantages. There are good examples of how we need to be more physical and sometimes sacrifice yourself to allow someone else to finish.
  7. If Levon Kirkland can play MLB at 280, everybody ought to be able to do it.
  8. I’m on the Gbenda hype train. One - cause I like to go against the grain. Two - cause I see the positives when others focus on the negatives (I actually flip that based on general perceptions). Three - he’s a ball of thunder. Four - he will play hard and be active. I watched the UW game again. The long TD run was right at him. Unfortunately the DT was pushed back into this lap. The defender to his left - unblocked and concerned with the fake/qb. I think he read it fine, but the line play (one player) caused the problem. He only logged 71 snaps in 2022, about a third of 2021. He needs reps to get consistency. I’m not sure he’ll be a 3 down guy so coverage may not be a huge issue. Last year he didn’t play enough to draw any definitive conclusions but PFF graded him well, and there were some positives from his limited snaps. I’d say throw 2021 out the window for a number of reasons.
  9. I didn’t realize Bush was on the field so much on 3rd and 4th down.
  10. Not for the season but leading up to the draft. I’m not aware of any hopes for the current season.
  11. I once knew a college soccer coach that traveled to Australia to recruit. Probably wasn’t too expensive.
  12. . I want Richardson to fail because of the the hype and opportunity provided that he hasn’t shown/earned on the field. If they got Minshew there based on false promises, I don’t care for that. But I have idea if that occurred. But yeah Irsay does his thing.
  13. If you had $220 million, then $225k could be considered chump change.
  14. Reps are important. However, if you are the Chiefs, would you like to go back in time and play Mahomes immediately or are you satisfied with how his development played out? What about Rodgers? Now Richardson. He needs more mental than physical development. And his college career more than others shows he needs to learn to play the position. He wasn’t drafted to play 4/5 years for the Colts. The intent is for him to play a decade so playing the first year could go either way. The rush to play him this year is he is that good. That would be surprising to know this early. As for Minshew, he probably knew the deal. My guess is that he’d like to play rather than just cash a check, but that he’ll take the check rather than do something else. The NFL has plenty of failures at the QB position due to lack of patience. Some of that is starting these guys too soon. Part of that is not giving guys enough opportunity given their surrounding environment. Sometimes they get it right, sometimes not.
  15. The answer to this statement is the story. You don’t put someone in your will just because they went to your school of choice. You don’t siphon off thousands of dollars only to give back millions to that same person. You don’t give them millions without being “family” whether they were adopted or not. No shit if my kid was a big recruit with the NFL in his future, Texas would be the hope. But it’s hard for me to cross that bridge of bringing that kid into my house without caring about him personally just to get him there. I enjoyed the movie but I elect to see the positives in the outcome rather than picking apart that not all of it is 100% altruistic.
  16. I believe that was Sark playing for this year. He said Ewers was his guy before the season started so he rode him.
  17. Perhaps just me, but it would have been awesome for Roschon to play a little LB and RB. Then again, maybe we don’t win 10 games if he does.
  18. Just blame it on Majors.
  19. No one brings the good news like @HenryJames
  20. Well maybe get way up in that upper right corner for 10 wins this year. But damn if your comment didn’t feel like 2021. Poor 4Q offense and poor in one score games.
  21. I’m getting old but when did the “I” become a thing? I sure as hell don’t remember that from my youth.
  22. So why oh why are we the outlier?
  23. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/38196581/rookie-anthony-richardson-named-colts-starting-qb Anybody else hopes this dude fails? They didn’t even give Minshew a shot.
  24. What can I say? He had hernia surgery for his appendix. I have all of mine. How ever many that is.
  25. Let’s just hope it’s not a recurring injury.
